The Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding initiative of Emory University
seeks submissions of presentations for the Second International Summit
on Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding to be held at Emory University
October 17-19, 2010.

The summit, to be inaugurated by the Dalai Lama, is a major component of
Emory University's Initiative on Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding.
It reflects the University's commitment to engaged scholarship designed
to enhance the flourishing of human life and improving the human
condition.

The focus of this year's summit is Local Peacebuilding and Religion:
Context, Practices, and Models. We desire submissions for presentations
from engaged academics and research-oriented practitioners whose work
addresses the issues of local peacebuilding and who are capable of
engaging practitioners in productive and meaningful conversations.
Presentations will take place in a workshop format. Papers may be
ethnographic, theoretical, descriptive, or evaluative, but a major
criterion for selection is the ability of the proposed paper topic to
extend the discussion of the following questions:

* What constitutes a successful practice?
* Do different models work better at different stages of a
   conflict?
* What is religion's role in:
*    Conflict prevention?
*    Minimizing violence?
*    Ending a violent conflict?
*    Post-conflict reconciliation?
* What does religion bring to local peacebuilding? (We do not presume that religion always will be positive, so reflectively critical papers are invited.)
* How can practices be taught?
* What is the role (if any) of gender in directing certain individuals to particular practices or models?
* What can the academy do to assist local religiously-informed peacebuilders?
* How does one identify and respond to particularity?
* How much does local religious context matter?

Additionally submissions focusing on the geographical areas of
Tibet/China, West Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Ireland, as
well as the Southern United States are particularly encouraged.

Proposals consisting of:
* A 300-500 word abstract
* A two-page proposal identifying the main issue of the paper, the locale and parties involved, and discussing the paper's relevance to the summit
* A one page c.v. should be sent electronically in pdf format to: Juana Clem McGhee at jmcghee@emory.edu with the subject line reading: Proposals Second RCP Summit

Questions regarding submissions should be directed to: Edward Queen, Ph.D., J.D. at equeen@emory.edu or Laurie Patton at lpatton@emory.edu
